Barcelona Sports City.

The door to Rijkaard's office was open.

Henk Tenkat came to the door, and after two taps, he was beckoned by Rijkaard.

"Look at it, it's the latest, the intelligence from Madrid."

Barcelona has a special scout to study the opponent of the next game, especially for a strong opponent like Atletico Madrid, it is extremely important, a little bit of wind and grass, Barcelona can get the news as soon as possible.

Ten Carter picked up the piece of paper on his desk, which showed Atletico's 18-man squad, as well as some insider information about Atletico Madrid in the last two days, but not much.

Yang Hao almost turned Mahada Hongda into a military fortress, and it was difficult to find out the news from the outside.

On the contrary, sports cities such as Real Madrid are easy to get information.

In the industry, there are even many people who joke that the key to the gate of the Real Madrid Sports City is hung on their gate.

"Pepe apologized, but Marchena didn't."

Tengkart read it, and the most valuable thing in the whole article is this one, as well as the 18-man roster.

"Do you think it's going to be Pepe, or Ramos?" Rijkaard asked.

Combined with intelligence, a lot of things became clear.

Yang Hao has been pressing Marchena recently, mainly because of Marchena's unsatisfactory performance in the second round.

This is normal, sometimes, blindly encouraging and affirming, blindly being a good person, the players will become even worse.

In the eyes of fans, the stars are symbols, some are technical, some are powerful, and some are comprehensive......

But few fans realize that these stars are actually real people.

A group of people who are very rich, but at the same time very young, extremely energetic, and do not know much about things in society.

The vast majority of such people are troublesome.

Especially in the competitive world, everyone is eager to work hard to get stronger, everyone is competing.

How so?

Rijkaard once heard someone say such an adjective.

The state of the stars is like being in ZA, they must control the rhythm, not too fast, not too slow; It is also necessary to control the force, not too light, not too heavy; The key is to always stay at the stage before the outbreak.

If you accidentally break out and your state falls, you have to adjust and start again.

All in all, it is a very troublesome process.

Therefore, for Yang Hao's idle Marchena, whether it is the media, or Rijkaard and Tenkart, they all feel normal.

"I think it's risky if it's Ramos." Tengkart said.

Rijkaard nodded.

At the end of the day, Ramos is only 18 years old.

Since Camacho's sudden resignation, Real Madrid's season has basically been declared over.

It's not over yet, it's because their strength is there, and it's a matter of time before it's over.

Barcelona only has Atletico Madrid in their eyes!

This can be seen from the point of view of the broadcasters, who are all chasing profits, and so far this season, the broadcasters have selected two matches for broadcast against the world on two matchdays in each round, which are broadcast live.

In the third round, Barcelona challenged Atletico Madrid away, and the other game was Real Madrid's play against Espanyol.

This is voted by broadcasters with real money.

Moreover, Atletico Madrid's Calderón Stadium is the first stadium this season to complete the renovation of broadcast technology and the upgrade of the multimedia system, in order to catch up with this key game.

"Yang Hao has been rotating this season, that's his characteristic, he hasn't used the same lineup for two consecutive games so far, but I feel that whether it's Pepe or Ramos, their backline will be a problem."

What Rijkaard said was the previous summary and analysis of the Barcelona coaching staff.

"In the past, we have always suffered a big loss against Atletico, but now, I think, we should try to do it in the strong dialogue, take the initiative!"

The Dutch Black Swan finally spoke with determination.

"At Calderón Stadium?" Tengkart asked.

"Yes, we've been in great form lately."

At the beginning of the season, Atletico are at the top of the table, but mainly in the first round with a big win over Malaga.

Barcelona are also on a two-game winning streak and have not conceded a goal.

In the first leg of the just-concluded Champions League group stage, Barcelona defeated Celtic 4-0 away.

Three battles and three victories, which made Barcelona full of confidence.

Whether it's Rijkaard, or the Barcelona hierarchy, or the players, they all feel that the team should be more ambitious.

In the second half of last season, Barcelona fought back all the way and finally finished third in La Liga, which made everyone regain their confidence.

Especially Rijkaard and Tenkart.

They are all well aware that Barça have mastered a set of winning codes that are most suitable for Barça at the moment.

This season, the team has also strengthened this tactic.

The faster and more individual signs of Samuel Eto'o and Larsson were signed up front, Gyuli was also brought in from Monaco on the right flank, and Baptista was one of the best midfielders in La Liga last season.

In the four-goal win over Celtic, Baptista also showed great courage and scored a goal.

It can be said that the current Barcelona is getting better and better, and everything is getting better.

"Genk, if you want to win the championship, Atletico Madrid is a hurdle that we can't avoid no matter what, we have to boast about it to be qualified to win the championship!" Rijkaard said with a serious look at Tenkaert.

Ten Carter is a very serious person, he has very high requirements for everything, and he is very obsessed with winning.

Even, sometimes, he can choose not to play for the sake of victory.

Rijkaard knows that Ten Carter is very capable and his biggest helper, but on many occasions as a manager, he needs to think about more aspects.

Atletico have been too strong in the last few years.

In La Liga, if you want to win the title, you have to rush Atletico Madrid.

Strong dialogue is the best stage!

"Genk, I think we have enough quality to tell everyone that the era of Atletico is over, when they decide to build a new stadium and sell four of their biggest players!"

"The next La Liga will belong to our Barcelona!" Rijkaard smiled confidently.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Tenka nodded in agreement.

……

On the evening of September 19, Calderón Stadium, Madrid.

When Yang Hao walked out of the player's tunnel, he was greeted by the cheers of more than 50,000 Atletico Madrid fans throughout the stadium.

He first glanced at the visiting team's dugout, and saw that Rijkaard, Ten Carter and others were already seated, and immediately walked over.

"Hello, Frank, welcome to Calderón."

"Hello, Yang." Rijkaard hurriedly stood up and shook hands with Yang Hao.

"Hello, Henk." Yang Hao stretched out his hand to Tengkat again.

"Hello." Tengkart also stood up.

Now Yang Hao is no longer the nobody of the past, he is now in European football or Spanish football, he belongs to the kind of ruthless character who can earthquake by stomping his feet.

Especially after winning the treble last season, it pushed his personal fame to a new peak.

As the host, Yang Hao chatted with the two of them for a few words, and the game was about to start, and he walked back to the home team's coach's seat.

"They came prepared." Juanma Lillo had just been watching the conversation between the three of them.

Yang Hao took a bottle of water from Parales, took a sip, and nodded: "They are ambitious, just like us back then, and want to trample us down." ”

The top league is brutal.

Even if it is as strong as a star-studded Real Madrid, if you are not careful, you can be stepped on at any time.

Not only Atletico Madrid, but even Valencia, Deportivo and other teams stepped on the head of Real Madrid last season.

This shows how fierce the competition is.

Atletico Madrid is now considered the strongest team in La Liga, and naturally there will be strong players like Barcelona who want to challenge.

If they want to maintain their current status, then Atletico will have to beat their opponents.

Strong dialogue is the most powerful and important key platform.

It can be said that no one knows better than Yang Hao the importance of strong dialogue.

Because in the past few years, Atletico Madrid has suppressed Real Madrid, relying on one strong dialogue after another.

In Yang Hao's previous life, when Real Madrid was in the Champions League for three consecutive times, it was difficult to suppress Barcelona in the league, and in the final analysis, he failed to win the other party in the strong dialogue.

And Messi is a vital component.

That's where the leaders come in.

Therefore, before the game, Yang Hao talked to Kaka and Torres respectively, reminding them to show a more leadership performance in the game and play better and better.

It can be said that the stage of strong dialogue is the best touchstone for superstars.

Whether it is genuine or not, take out the practice!

Barcelona also came up with their strongest starting lineup list tonight.

Goalkeepers: Valdés;

Defenders: Van Bronckhorst, Puyol, Oleg and Belletti;

Midfielders: Edmilson trails behind, Baptista and Xavi in the middle;

Forwards: Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Giuli.

This is arguably the main squad for Barcelona at the start of the season.

Atletico continue to rotate.

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech;

Defenders: Patrice Evra, Ramos, Lucio and McConn;

Midfielders: Marcos Senna trails behind, Andres Iniesta and Kaka in the middle;

Forwards: Villa, Torres and Robben.

Today, Yang Hao made adjustments to the starting lineup.

One of the most important points is that Villa was played on the left and Robben on the right.

There is also the midfield of Andres Iniesta partnering Kaka.

This also fully shows Yang Hao's determination to have a decisive battle with Barcelona.

Only such a duel can determine who is the strongest in La Liga this season!

……

When Samuel Eto'o played the ball to Baptista, the latter quickly returned the ball.

Atletico's players rushed towards Barcelona's defensive hinterland as soon as the whistle blew.

Kaka and Torres were the first to bear the brunt, and Villa and Robben on both flanks also rushed forward at the same time.

Atletico Madrid made it clear from the beginning that they wanted to fight Barcelona to the death.

Barcelona continued to fall in the backfield, and was able to avoid the first wave of Atletico Madrid's pressing.

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines, closely following the dynamics of the players on the field, especially Ramos.

After Carvalho was sold to Chelsea, Atletico will now want to break through Atletico's backline no matter who they come across.

The reason is not difficult to guess, Lucio is not a very solid central defender, without a Carvalho, Marchena is also more reckless, Pepe and Ramos are younger.

Therefore, the central defender is almost the weakest link in Atletico's entire squad.

Just one and a half minutes into the opening game, Barcelona transferred the ball to the feet of Ronaldinho, dribbled horizontally, and sent a diagonal pass to the right rib of the front court.

Giuli was on the right flank, with his back to the right touchline, chested off Ronaldinho's pass.

This made Yang Hao's heart hang.

The first defense is important.

But just when the Atletico Madrid fans at the scene all exclaimed in unison, they saw Ramos suddenly rush out of the penalty area and pounce towards Gyuli.

Ramos was fast, and by the time Gyuli could react, he was already in front of him.

Gyuli tried to get the ball past Ramos, but the young Atletico centre-back lit up his chest and stabbed the ball forward with his right foot.

The French winger was knocked off balance and fell to the ground, losing the ball at his feet.

The stands resounded with the frenzied cheers of Atletico Madrid fans.

Referee Arturo did not award a foul and signaled for the game to continue.

The ball cleared by Ramos soon came to the feet of Kaka.

After sprinting into Barca's 30-metre zone with the ball, he faced Edmilson and flicked the ball sideways to Torres between the two centre-backs.

When Atletico received the ball, Puyol was stuck in the position by the grabbing Puyol, and he bumped into it, and even stumbled a little.

But Torres was more physically tough, and after stabilizing his body, he barely hit a long-range shot.

This shot went straight to the bottom line and was a little too much.

The Atletico fans at the scene still responded with warm applause.

The opening long-range shot doesn't necessarily mean a goal, sometimes it's just a morale boost.

Barcelona also quickly returned the color, Van Bronckhorst cut in the back row and fired a long-range shot, which also did not threaten Atletico's goal and went straight wide.

Both players played with a lot of fighting spirit.

……

"Andres."

Yang Hao walked to the sidelines and shouted Iniesta's name.

When Iniesta looked over, he made a 6 gesture towards him, signaling him to keep an eye on it, pinch Xavi, and don't let him take the ball too casually.

Iniesta nodded heavily and turned to look at Xavi.

At this time, Xavi also looked at Iniesta, who smiled apologetically.

Both of them were born in the Barcelona academy, and they know each other, and they have a good relationship.

Even before Andres Iniesta was sold to Atletico, Xavi was active in helping him break into the first team.

But now, the two have become rivals on the court.

Now, Andres Iniesta has developed very well at Atletico Madrid, especially last season, and he performed amazingly and impressed everyone.

This made everyone realise that it was no longer realistic to buy Iniesta back from Atletico.

Xavi, on the other hand, struggled in the No. 4 position and was moved forward this season to a central midfielder position.

It's right in front of Andres Iniesta.

Yang Hao was on the sidelines, and when he saw Iniesta facing Xavi, he suddenly had a bit of bad taste.

It's a pity that Messi was not placed in the squad tonight, otherwise, he could have considered letting Messi go up and play Barcelona if he was sure of winning.

But it's really not out of nowhere for him to let Iniesta get stuck with Xavi.

Barcelona have always been characterized by possession.

In Yang Hao's previous life, there was a key player in Barcelona's possession system in recent years, and that was Deco.

To some extent, the combination of Ronaldinho, Deco and Xavi is almost the same as the later combination of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.

But now, Andres Iniesta is at Atletico Madrid, Deco is at Chelsea, and Barcelona has only one Baptista.

The addition of Baptista has weakened Barcelona's passing and possession, and they have begun to add more direct attacking methods.

The organisation of the midfield is more dependent on Xavi.

Therefore, Yang Hao asked Iniesta to pinch Xavi, and the purpose is here.

Before this game, Yang Hao repeatedly watched Barcelona's game video, analyzed Barcelona's tactical situation, and found that when they attacked, often the two fullbacks would actively press forward.

Ronaldinho and Giuli will move closer to the middle, mainly attacking the ribs, and the flanks will be conceded to Van Bronckhorst and Belletti, which will make Barca's attack more three-dimensional.

However, after the full-backs step forward, those who remain behind them will give the opponent more space to counterattack.

Atletico's tactical approach is to increase the pressing of players in midfield.

Therefore, whether it is Torres, Drogba, or other players, Atletico will actively participate in counter-attacking.

Barcelona is similar to this routine, but between their number four position and the two central defenders, the cooperation is not skillful enough.

Edmilson's height, strength, skill at his feet and his ability to pass the ball do look ideal for a No.4 at first glance, but his positional sense has led him to often lose his position when he returns quickly.

That's pretty damning.

……

In the first ten minutes of the game, both sides were trying, going back and forth with each other, more in the run-in and testing, looking for each other's weak links, but neither was easily exposed.

Ten minutes later, Yang Hao also realized Atletico's weak link.

There is no solid point of possession like Ronaldinho up front.

It doesn't make much sense to continue to compete with Barcelona for the ball.

So, Yang Hao signaled the team to adjust the style of play, reduce ball control, give the ball to Barcelona, and let Barcelona press out.

The adjustment quickly paid off.

In the 12th minute, Kaka was near the halfway line, received a pass from McConn, and quickly dribbled forward.

Yang Hao really cultivated the core of Kaka's midfield.

So Kaka is on the court, every time he gets the ball, whether he wants to break through with the ball or pass the ball, he chooses.

If he is sure to break through with the ball, then go for it, and if he feels that the pass is better, then pass.

In Yang Hao's view, superstars of Kaka's level, including people like Messi, Iniesta and others in the future, should do this.

Give them a tactical framework to play and cooperate as they want.

And Kaka suddenly started with the ball this time, disrupting Barcelona's defensive deployment.

Van Bronckhorst on the left was chasing, midfielder Edmilson ran over to help, and Baptista behind him was also returning.

In this way, the three Barcelona players were swept all the way to the 30-meter area of Barcelona by Kaka.

At this time, Torres is on the same level as Puyol and Oleg, and there is also Villa on the left.

Kaka sent a through ball to Puyol's back.

Torres cut in at high speed, caught up with Kaka's pass on the right side of the penalty area, and the whole person suddenly stopped.

Oleg went straight to the head, but Puyol also braked sharply, keeping Torres in the way of the goal.

Torres threw the ball to his left foot and tried to get his foot off the ball, but Puyol's defence was too good.

When Torres tried to deliver a cross, the ball was blocked by Puyol's foot and couldn't get through.

If this ball is passed, Villa on the left side of the penalty spot will face the empty goal.

At the critical moment, Puyol saved Barcelona's life!

Yang Hao also shook his head helplessly on the sidelines, but still applauded vigorously.

Atletico's players played well on the counter-attack this time.

"Keep playing like this, come on! Come on!! ”

Yang Hao shouted loudly from the sidelines, and at the same time gave a thumbs up to Iniesta, signaling to continue to pinch Xavi's point.

As long as Xavi is messed up, Barcelona will be messed up too.

And in the 21st minute, Barcelona attacked the front once and wanted to attack from Ronaldinho's side, but it was unsuccessful and was forced to pass back.

Baptista picked up Xavi and regrouped the Barcelona midfield.

Xavi will stop and watch the situation again.

He didn't have a good ball around him and Atletico had his lanes under control.

Except for Belletti behind him.

But he doesn't have eyes behind him.

Iniesta immediately pounced on Xavi.

Harvey took a small step sideways into the middle, looking to take it to the middle.

But who is Iniesta?

Both of them are from the Barcelona academy, and they are well aware of Barcelona's skills in cultivating young players, and they are very familiar with each other.

After the cunning Iniesta pretended to be fooled and took a step, and then saw Xavi kick out and turn the ball back to his right side from behind, Iniesta spotted the opportunity, quickly cut in front of Xavi who turned, pushed him with his shoulder, and successfully broke the ball away.

Xavi stumbled and lost his balance, but he also grabbed Iniesta's shirt before he fell to the ground.

Andres Iniesta stabbed the ball to Kaka at the crucial moment, and he was both knocked to the ground by Xavira.

The referee did not blow the whistle in favor of the attacking team.

Kaka immediately started with the ball, strode forward and quickly delivered a diagonal pass to the right behind the defence.

Van Bronckhorst was desperately trying to defend and Puyol was desperately chasing back, but Robben was quicker and took the lead to catch Kaka's pass on the right side of the penalty area, and the whole person suddenly made a sudden stop.

After seeing Robben make an emergency stop, he skillfully smashed the ball with his left foot and cut inside, and instantly made a bloody way out of Puyol and Van Bronckhorst.

This sudden change caused all the fans in the stadium to scream.

Puyol even lost his balance and slipped on the sidelines.

Arjen Robben dribbled the ball along the edge of the penalty area and cut in laterally, and suddenly burst with his left foot to shoot from distance.

But I have to say that Robben's series of actions before the shot were very exciting, but at the end of the shot, he was a little anxious.

There are no too good angles, and the range is long.

Goalkeeper Valdés was in position early and wanted to hold the ball firmly.

Robben's shot angle was really not good, and it was a little urgent, but the strength was out.

When everyone thought that Valdés could hold the ball, the Barcelona goalkeeper actually let it go!!

In the midst of everyone's dumbfounding, Torres reacted first, taking the first step to block Oleg with his body, and stabbing with his left foot against the flying football.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"The ball is in!!"

"Torres!!"

"At the critical moment, it still depends on Torres!"

"Every time he faced Barcelona, Torres was able to score a wonderful goal!"

"This time, he cleverly seized the opportunity!"

"1 to 0 !!"

The entire Calderón stadium was set on fire in an instant.

As Torres excitedly rushed out of the stadium to celebrate, the crowd chanted his name.

It's exploded!

Yang Hao also clenched his fists and shouted excitedly!

This goal is really beautiful!

Iniesta steals, Kaka dribbles the ball forward, and a diagonal pass hits the gap behind Van Bronckhorst's front cut, and Robben cuts the ball inside with a stop, and instantly shakes off Puyol and Van Bronckhorst.

It was the last shot that missed the fire!

However, this is also normal, the current Robben is only 20 years old, and he is far from the realm of Luo Laohan in the future.

But that's sharp enough!

The picture of Puyol slipping and falling to the ground just now will definitely become a famous scene that countless fans talk about.

But that's Robben!

"There have been very noticeable adjustments and changes in Atletico's tactics tonight."

'Especially with Robben on the right, it's really eye-catching.'

'He had just made a quick stop to shake off Puyol and Van Bronckhorst, and his left-footed shot from the right cut inside caused Valdés to get out of his hands and create a great chance for Torres.

"Atletico got off to a good start tonight!"

……

Rijkaard clasped his hands together and nervously put them in his mouth when he saw Robben's inside shot, biting both thumbs with his hands.

After seeing Torres score, he shouted in frustration, clearly unhappy with the result.

"Why did you concede the ball?"

Rijkaard walked back, speechless at the goal conceded.

"Atletico's counter-attacks are too fast, Kaka's dribbling has always been Atletico's sharpest weapon, and he can change the rhythm of the field, and his line selection is also very smart." Tengkart explained.

Rijkaard, of course, knew.

Not only did he know, but he almost cheered for Kaka in his heart.

Why?

Because he's played football too!

Many times, fans often watch the performance of superstars and shout fiercely, but some know it but don't know why.

Only when you have played football and have a very deep football foundation and a good understanding of the sport will you find out why these superstars are superstars.

It's like Kaka.

The dribbling ball just now, before he received Iniesta's pass, he had already thought about the line to advance with the ball.

When the ball arrives, the person starts.

Generally speaking, players who are known for their speed tend to start like a gas truck, and they need a slow acceleration process, which is often called explosiveness.

What about cocos?

This guy is a big bug.

He was not powered by a gasoline engine, but by an electric motor, which ran at full power as soon as it was started.

Just imagine, a tram and a group of oil trucks fight to start, can the oil trucks catch up?

And that Robben, who also uses a motor.

God knows how Yang Hao scavenged so many stars of this type?

What's even more outrageous is that their skills are excellent.

Generally speaking, players who are fast are often not very skilled.

This is not surprising either.

In the youth team, the advantage of speed is too striking.

If you can easily solve your opponent with speed, why do you still work hard to practice your skills?

What about Cocoka and Robben?

Not only are they fast, but they are also very skilled with their key feet, which is outrageous.

So, there was the scene just now, Robben stopped and slammed the ball inside, and Puyol directly lost his balance and fell.

Is there a way?

Two players keep one, but they still don't hold it.

What else can Rijkaard say?

'We can't control the ball in midfield and Xavi is not enough to have one spot. Tengkart said with a headache.

On the one hand, he wanted to play the ball passing, but on the other hand, he introduced Baptista.

If nothing else, just look at the Brazilian beast's hard-bridge and hard-horse style, like a player who can play passing?

Not to mention Tenkaert, even Rijkaard didn't have much to say.

Everyone knows that Barcelona vice-president Rosell wants to create a Brazilian gang in Barcelona to replace the Dutch gang in the past.

So now Barcelona has five Brazilian players in the team: Ronaldinho, Baptista, Edmilson, Belletti and Silvinho, plus Thiago Motta, who has Brazilian nationality, there are already six Brazilian players.

If you include Rafa Marcos and Maxi López, there are as many as eight players in North and South America.

And the reason for this is very simple, that is, Russell's connections are basically in Brazil and South America.

On this issue, not to mention the coaching staff, even Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, is reluctant to get involved too much.

After Barcelona missed Deco in the summer, the most wanted to bring in was actually Ajax's Van der Vaart, and even the player is very eager to join Barcelona, he has always been a die-hard fan of Barcelona.

But when it comes to transfers, Rosell is absolutely in charge.

Rijkaard glanced at the grumbling Tenkaert, and was speechless.

What can he do about this kind of thing?

……

The game resumes.

Barcelona were still trying to keep possession, while Atletico were more determined to concede possession.

But this kind of concession of the Sheets Army is not to give up completely, but not to blindly snatch possession.

Atletico started to play more directly and efficiently.

Yang Hao's strategy is very clear, the midfielder pinched Xavi's point, disrupted Barcelona's midfield organization and deployment, once he grabbed the ball, he immediately instigated a counterattack, and played on both sides of Barcelona, especially Van Bronckhorst on the left.

The Dutchman was the most active as he came to Ronaldinho's aid.

This is also the arrangement that Rijkaard gave him.

It's a bit like the combination of Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid later.

Ronaldinho has been given the most privileges up front, even free fire, and his favourite thing is to create chances for himself and his team-mates after winning the ball on the left flank.

Normally, Van Bronckhorst is more of a wide player on the left side of Barca, with both attack and defence in play.

However, after the first lesson, Barcelona began to adjust the defensive layout appropriately.

Once Atletico broke the ball, Puyol pulled out wide, mainly to keep an eye on Robben.

Puyol, who served as the captain of Barcelona this season, also held his breath, especially when he thought that he was shaken by Robben and fell to the ground just now, and he had a big appearance, Puyol was annoyed, so he kept looking for trouble with Robben.

This resulted in Pujol knocking down Robben three times in just 10 minutes, from 25 to 35 minutes.

Yang Hao couldn't stand it anymore on the sidelines, kept shouting at the referee, and kept protesting.

In the end, the referee gave Puyol a yellow card and warned him to rein in his movements.

And Yang Hao also saw it.

Once Puyol was on the side, Edmilson dropped back to the middle.

Yang Hao is very familiar with Edmilson, because when he went to Sao Paulo to sign Kaka, the player was in Sao Paulo.

At the time, he was playing at centre-back.

Later, in Ligue 1 Lyon, Edmilson also played at central defence.

But after coming to Barcelona, Rijkaard felt that Edmilson's ball was good and his body was good, and he just caught up with Thiago Mota, who Rijkaard admired the most and was evaluated as the most like him, was injured, so Edmilson stepped up and played the team's No. 4 position.

After Yang Hao found out about this, he took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to call Kaka to the sidelines.

'The left side is blocked, try to go to the edge of the box.'

"Let Robben pull Puyol, Torres and Villa to run aggressively."

In two sentences, concise and to the point, Kaka immediately understood the manager's intentions.

……

The game remained in a balanced situation.

Barcelona tried to keep possession, but Atletico focused on quick counter-attacks.

Both teams fought near the halfway line.

Kaka gradually conveyed the manager's intentions to his teammates, and everyone was ready and waiting for the opportunity to arise.

This was the 37th minute.

Xavi was interfered with by Iniesta and the ball passed to Baptista was blocked by Marcos Senna.

There was a scuffle at the edge of the Atletico penalty area, and Ronaldinho hastily picked up the pass.

Ramos got ahead of Samuel Eto'o and headed the ball back into midfield.

Andres Iniesta swept the ball straight to Kaka on the right, and the Brazilian started straight on, dribbling through the midfield and distributing the ball to the left again.

Robben rushed all the way.

Atletico still look like they're going to play on the left.

Puyol pulled out as soon as possible, and together with Van Bronckhorst, who ran all the way back, the pair tried to block Robben on the left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Robben reached the 30-meter area, he suddenly made a quick stop and cut the ball inside, caught Barcelona off guard, and quickly crossed the ball.

Kaka caught up as fast as he could, met Robben's cross pass, and stopped.

Almost at the same time, Torres quickly pulled out, went to the edge of the penalty area, and raised his hand to the right side of the arc to ask for the ball.

This immediately made Oleg come out with him.

And Edmilson, who was supposed to sink in, was still on the periphery of the arc.

To everyone's amazement, after Kaka stopped the ball, he made a casual stroke with his right foot very easily.

The ball was lifted high over everyone's heads and landed on the left behind the Barcelona defence.

When the Barcelona player's eyes shifted along the ball path, they suddenly found that Villa was cutting diagonally at high speed, blocking Belletti with his body while stopping the ball sideways with his chest.

In the big penalty area, Belletti didn't dare to make the slightest move, and could only watch Villa stop the ball on his chest, then turn and volley with his right foot.

Valdés was on the right, a little unprepared for the sudden shot from the left, and made a direct sideways pounce, but the whip was out of reach.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"37th minute!"

"Atletico !! again"

"Goal from Villa!"

"2 to 0!"

Once again, the entire Calderón stadium erupted in wild cheers and applause.

Villa excitedly rushed out of the pitch and greeted the tsunami of Atletico Madrid fans with open arms.

Behind him, Atletico Madrid's players also chased after him.

"It's so beautiful!"

"This is Atletico's attack!"

"It's layered, but it's also very imaginative."

"They have a very good group of players and they have very good individual qualities, which makes the Barcelona defence very passive."

'Villa's volley at a crucial moment gave Atletico the second goal of the game.

"He should be thankful for his teammate Kaka."

"Let's take a look at Kaka's kick again, it's really very thoughtful, Villa's cooperation is just right, as soon as the chest stops, he will hit the volley directly!"

……

If the first goal is a brick that knocks on the Barcelona goal, then the second goal is actually based on the first goal, according to Barcelona's tactical changes, Yang Hao made the result of on-the-spot adjustment.

Barcelona are also starting to realise that when they want to play against Atletico Madrid at the Calderón Stadium, it is really dangerous.

As a result, after conceding the second goal, Rijkaard began to signal the full-backs to reduce the number of times they could go forward, allowing only one full-back to step forward.

The aim is to have enough defensive players at the back.

With less attacking input, coupled with Xavi's containment, Barcelona's attack began to lose its threat.

But the backline has stabilized for the time being.

Why temporary?

Because Atletico have never been afraid of positional battles.

Moreover, Yang Hao has always felt that he is very professional when he plays Barcelona!

Towards the end of the first half, when Atletico once again seized the opportunity, Robben received a pass from McCone and launched an attack along the left flank, but he was still interfered by Van Bronckhorst, immediately cut in laterally and passed the ball back to Kaka, who came in the back row to pick it up.

Kaka stopped the ball and saw that Barcelona had contracted the defense, so he didn't go to Torres again, but distributed the ball to the right.

McCone plugged in at high speed, stopped the ball directly to the right side of Barcelona's penalty area, and after catching up, he glanced at the big penalty area, crossed with his feet, and sent the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

Edmilson, who was at the top of Barcelona's top, was attracted by Kaka on the edge of the box, Puyol was in front of the post, but McConn's pass went down the middle, Torres pressed Oleg, and the whole man jumped high and a lion shook his head.

McConn's cross was headed straight to the left of the goal by Torres.

Valdés was on his right, and before he could even make a save, he saw that the ball had crashed into the Barça goal.

It was the 43rd minute of the first half!

Atletico leads Barcelona 3-0!

I don't ask for leave on weekends, or two shifts, kneel and beg for a monthly pass!
